Default Car jumping straight to the right.

I'll try and keep this as short as possible, Last week I took my car to the track 1st run it came up and set down about 60 feet out but it was way to the right. 2nd run it came out but this time it sat down about 60' to the left, 3rd run same thing 60' to the left, all 3 runs I came out @ 4000rpm on the brake, 60' was 1.36 now all last season it was comming out perfectly straight. now I changed rear gears from a 5.14 to a 5.67 because I was only getting 6200 rpm at the 1/8 and my H/P max is 6700 so I wanted to see what it would do with this gear, all the calculaters shows the 5.67 to be the best gear for the 1/8 with 32'' tires with my setup. But WOW that 5.67 brings the front end up higher just foot braking it than the 5.14 did comming out at 4000 with the Trans brake, But anyway getting back to the point. I can't drive it with the 5.67 because man that gear change just amplified my pulling problem. I could drive out of the pulling let or right with the 5.14 but the 5.67 allmost made me wreck it twice so I put it on the trailer. Now my panhard bar braket that bolts through the front of the left side ladder was loose last week so I tightened it up before I took it out this weekend but that didnt do anything.

ONE thing more would you run the same amount off air in a tire with or without a tube?
